Some https://nodejs.org/dist/ builds are experiencing intermittent 500 errors

[ryanolee]

• Version: Many (see list)
• Platform: All
• Subsystem: Dist build system

See:
nodejs/nodejs.org#3075
nodejs/build#2263

For other node repos effected by this.

What steps will reproduce the bug?

Many /dist/ builds are giving 500 errors. Such as https://nodejs.org/dist/v0.11.15/

How often does it reproduce? Is there a required condition?

Temperamental as it currently stands. Currently 500-ing for me

What is the expected behavior?

Dist zip download

What do you see instead?

500 errors

Additional information

A number of other issues have been raised about this:
#32680
#32681
#32682

We will probably want to flatten them into one global issue surrounding builds across all of these versions failing to properly load.

Currently building a list of effected URLS
Thus far failing builds can be found here <- Likley to change given 500 errors seem almost random at this stage

Seems that it affects all or most builds. If you try downloading the same file multiple times then it's hit or miss, I get approximately 70% internal server error and remaining 30% it downloas dsuccesfully, probably there are some unhealthy instances in nodejs.org load balancer.

This is not only happening for builds but the entire https://nodejs.org site in general is giving random 500 errors

Only the v12.16.1 version is working at the moment. Seems to be an issue on Node site. I've just used the 12.16.1 version for now but its not going to be a solution for everyone.

You can try to use Docker images 👍
